The Winnings of Oz

Rules of The Winnings of Oz Slot

When you play the Winnings of Oz slot, your potential payoff is influenced by the following settings: the number of active payoff lines and the size of the bet for every active line. In the Lines menu, you can adjust the range of active payoff lines by pressing the “+” and ”-” buttons. You can activate up to 25 lines per spin. The Line Bet gameplay control element is responsible for helping you define the size of your bet. It also features “+” and ”-” buttons, but in this menu, you will be using them to adjust the number of credits you’re going to bet (the size of a bet per every line varies from 0.01 to 5 credits). In the upper part of the screen above the reels, you will find the cell which displays the current size of your progressive jackpot.

Experienced gamers usually press the Info button before they go on to play the slot. The Info button pulls up the payoff table on the gameplay screen, so you can get to know the coefficients for every symbol and the bonuses of the game. In this menu, you will also find a schematic representation of the payoff lines.

If you prefer the manual mode, you can use the Spin button to launch a single spin of the reels with the parameters you have defined. In the Autoplay menu, you will find the options that control the automatic game mode. There you can choose the exact number of automatic spins that you wish to launch.

The easiest way to get payoffs in the Winnings of Oz slot from Playtech is to get a combination of at least three identical symbols on any active payoff line. This chain of symbols has to start on the first reel and go on to the right uninterrupted. There is no risk-game in this video slot.

Symbols and Payoffs

The logo of this video slot is also the wild symbol. In winning combinations, the wild symbol can replace any other one except the scatter. All winning combinations which were completed by the wild symbol get double payoffs. The wild symbol also has the biggest payoff coefficients in the game. Getting combinations of 3, 4, and 5 wild symbol icons will get you a grand payoff, which equals the size of your bet multiplied by 100, 800, and 2000, respectively. The icon of Dorothy who is holding her dog brings coefficients of 50, 500, and 1000, the icon with the main characters – Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion – features coefficients of 25, 200, and 500. The shoes symbol will multiply your payoff by 25, 100, or 250, and the house icon – by 15, 75, or 125. The rest of the icons used in the game are playing card symbols and have the following coefficients:

• A – 10, 50, 75;
• K, Q – 5, 15, 50;
• J, 10 – 4, 10, 25.

The Wizard Bonus mini-game is activated by the Wizard of Oz symbol. To launch the mini-game, you have to get the icon of the Wizard on the first, third, and fifth reels, along with the road icons in between. Once the game is launched, you’ll see coins which are lying face down, so you can’t see their value. You will lift them up one by one, and if a coin displays a portrait of one of the main characters, you will get a payoff.

The road symbol can launch another mini-game, called The Yellow Brick Road. It is activated by getting a combination of the road icons on the first, third, and fifth reels. In this mini-game you will help Dorothy walk the yellow brick road. The further along the road she gets, the bigger the size of your payoff. If you manage to walk Dorothy all the way up the road, you’ll be able to launch the Wizard Bonus mini-game.

Free spins are activated by the icons of three witches. These scatters can appear in any place on the second, fourth, and fifth reel. During free spins, the portrait of the white witch is the wild symbol, while the black witch will end the round for you. To end the free spins, you have to collect 5 portraits of the dark witch. This will launch the final superspin, during which two witches are going to fight each other.

How to Win the Winnings of Oz Slot

The most attractive feature of the Winnings of Oz slot is the progressive jackpot. It can be won during both bonus rounds. In the Wizard Bonus mini-game, the progressive jackpot can be obtained if you get the portraits of all four main characters on the coins.
